It’s a good plane and it has been exported

Because we didn’t have that much of options. F-35 definitely no, J-20 also having geopolitical security threat, at the end there only the Felon that still on the table for choosing

J20 is not exported, the j-35 is.
And there is the kaan and the kf21 who is on list with the felon

Although they are both still is trail phase, so su57 is the only deal, plus russian tend to be open for customization like the customer want. Even sometime offer side deal like su35

Kaan is still under development, it will be a good option if the Turks can get it done before the evaluation process begin

its planned to be delivered for the Turks and Indonesia starting in 2032 (so about 6 years)

IDK, but I don’t think is enough time for the avionics and weaponary system, especially when the geopolitics situations of Turkiye right now is quite worrying

IIRC the only major concerns is in regards to the engines, so who knows
